Off Property ADR's

[Tink03477]

(not sure I posted in the right sub board)
I've got a friend staying off property, going Christmas Week (very busy, I know!) when and where can she make reservations? Should she just call or can she use the app if she's not staying on property? Any help would be appreciated. I stay on property so I'm not sure of the options. Thank you!!

180 days. Phone would absolutely work, MDE should work as well.

On property or off it's the same window, the only difference is that on-property guests can book multiple days out from their arrival date (i.e., the 180+x rule), which will make it harder to get the highest-demand locations. And during Christmas week, most locations are highest-demand.

Hopefully she is flexible about where and and what time she eats.

Thank you so much for the information! Yes, I think she knows she will have to be flexible, but I will mention it anyway.

The app will only let you book ADR's 60 days out not (I believe) so make sure she is using MDE through a web browner, not on the app. Otherwise everything is normal as on property except for 180+10.

Okay, I will. Thank you!

I've never had a problem booking at 180 on the app on and off property. I've never heard of 60 days out.

Anyone can make ADR's at 180 days out.
If staying offsite you have to do it 180 days one day at a time.
She can do it online or by phone.
Currently the app is only allowing ADR's to be made up to 60 days out due to some technical issues they've been having and are working on.
ADR's open 180 days out 6am eastern online and 7am eastern by phone.

Is it the type of phone that's only seeing ADRs on the app at 60 days? Because I just checked and I can see up to December 16. My window for NYE will open soon, but that is definitely 180 days out.

Maybe the last update fixed it? This past weekend I could only see 60 days out, but I updated the app yesterday and now I can see 180.

I too just updated the app and I can see 180 days out although at first a window did pop up saying ADR's could only be made up to 60 days out so use the website for anything farther out than that.

Since you've updated the app do you see where the bus wait times are?
I don't see it anywhere and I know the feature was added with this updated version.
Maybe you have to be there for it to show up?

I think you need to be checked in for bus wait times to show up. My trip's not until December, so I can't see anything yet.
